SETTING UP THE SYSTEM

SUBWOOFERS

If you choose to add a subwoofer to your system, it is not necessary to concern yourself so much with its placement. For the most part, a subwoofer can be hidden behind furniture or draperies without affecting its performance.

However, you do need to pay attention to how it responds to low bass frequencies in certain positions. It may be necessary to move the subwoofer around the room until you are satisfied with its output.

BALANCING YOUR SPEAKERS

Your system is equipped with *, which enables you to reproduce sound effects as they were intended. But to do so, the speakers must be correctly balanced.

To balance the speakers using the Test Tone, all speakers must be connected to your receiver and your receiver must be in the Dolby Pro Logic Surround Mode.

1.Press the TEST TONE button on the receiver front panel. The Test Tone LED on the front panel will light. The receiver will generate a “pink noise” and apply it automatically at three- second intervals to the left main channel, center channel, right main channel and left and right rear channels (simultaneously), in that order.

2.As the pink noise is generated, go to the spot in the room where you are most likely to be when listening to your system. The rear surround and center speakers should be adjusted to equal the level of output from the left and right main speakers.

3.Make adjustments by pressing the REAR•CTR button, and then the +/- button on your remote control. The output from the selected speaker(s) is adjusted accordingly.

Each time you press the + or - button on your remote control to adjust a channel, the receiver provides you with two more seconds of pink noise to that channel before moving on to the next.

4.Press the TEST TONE button again to end the test.

You may not need to check or adjust these levels again unless you move your system, rearrange the speakers, or change your preferred seating location in the room.
